One For Classic Car Fans.....

[Profpointy]

I do like a big, quick, petrol vert of more than 4 cylinders. A few days ago was looking wistfully at an ad for a DB7 vert and almost went for it.

A former boss bought a DB7 (or something along those lines) as a share with a friend and colleague. They both have somewhat more sensible cars so can each have enough use out of it whilst sharing the likely considerable running costs. Doubt it was terrifically expensive to buy.

Test drove a fixed head version of one of these. It was big unwieldy and not much fun; bought a 3.0 V6 166 instead.

Would you take a bd7 over a vantage or db9?

My Dad had a Vantage, very nice but a bit brash. A 6 banger DB7 is quite svelte and ticks the upcoming classic box as well. I could keep it next tomthe C70, which was also styled by Ian Callum.

We had a XKR for 3 years, or so, but ours was a coupe

I like verts for the full desperate-bald-man-mid-life-crisis effect.

Two pics today, one from the car, one from the pavement. I think the first is an Austin 7 special.

Not so much a classic as a UK rarity a Honda insite in fact two of them

Also spotted a couple of other classics but they were not in ideal position for pictures but will try again

I love those early Insights. They have a bitmof a culture worldwide following, there are folk out there who upgrade the batteries and all sorts.

Seen quite a few but no so many of the them recently.

They look a bit like the early CRX's

I think you might have spotted one of these:

Sneak back and check

Right had another look at this and still not sure although it bears the XJSC badge but either way I would love it

I could be wrong - im no Jaaaaag expert - but that looks more like a conversion than a factory vert. The hood at the rear lower corner of the rear side windscreen looks wrong for a factory car, although it could be a factory car that's had a non-original replacenent hood.

I think it's a boggo SC, looking at it. Not a Burberry, else it'd have a little badge on the back.

My thoughts completely more standard than anything else

No photo but saw a beautiful mk1 Zodiac this morning on our way to Stamford. Absolutely gleaming, and dripping with chrome. Shame it was beige…
